Services

The pondgw.hoi-polloi.org service now provides a
Pond/EMail Gateway to allow bidrectional message exchange between the systems. It is intended
to support each registered Pond user by allowing her/him to be reachable by an unlimited
number of normal email addresses for registration, mailing lists and other purposes.

Running a mirror helps to provide better accessibility and availability for the Torproject.org website,
even if some governments might fancy it a good idea to censor the access to the original website.

but is trying to be helpful to all people who are dedicated to freedom of information, freedom of
communication and expression, free speech and informational self-determination. This includes VPN

The intended purpose of this services is to enhance the freedom of Internet users and to enable them
to excercise their right on freedom of speech, freedom of information and uncensored, world-wide
communication - wherever they live or whatever they believe in. It is not intended to be used to
insult or trouble other people by sending anonymous emails - but freedom for the many has to endure
the misuse of freedom by a few.
